Cracking the code

This a print from my original acrylic painting which is inspired by Marawi civilization in north Sudan.This is not a real code it just a try describe our unique Sudanese Identity using some mathematical symbols and Arabic letter to compose this code.Simply its a combination of a washed beige background with a heavily applied layer of raw umber in the front.

Two painting techniques is been used in this art work; washing in background and scraping through layers of paint in the front. Title: Cracking the CodeArtist: Selma AwadallaColour:Beige, raw umber and white Note!Actual colours may vary from the colour on your screen due to your monitor settings

Selma art

Hello and welcome to my gallery! My name is Selma S. Awadalla. I live in a town near London. I am M.Sc. holder in food microbiology since 2004.

As a result of being microbiologist, most of my works (painting, illustrations,sculptures and mixed media), are inspired by the beauty of the microscopic nature. I get my daily inspiration from the nature's integrity,starting from the landscape down to the cells rows.

Born in England, grown up in Arabia and north Africa. From the Yorkshire`s cloudiest skies to sunniest Sahara, all these extremely different environments, influenced on my vibrant colours picks. So, it's not surprising that most of my work tends to be jubilant and you could smell the sun in my painting!
